FIRST
ONE HUNDRED YEARS, 1874-1974

One
of the first Methodist Churches of Miller County, Arkansas, was
organized in the Mt. Pleasant School House in 1874. The first
pastor was Rev. Jenkins. In 1900 the camp meeting grounds were
moved to the present site and a large Tabernacle was built. This
land was donated by, George Fouke, a pioneer of Miller County.

The
present brick building was built in 1921 by Allen Few, and was
named Few Memorial in memory of his parents and family who were
also pioneers of the Mt. Pleasant Community. The Few Memorial
Methodist church was completed ready for worship and dedicated
June 19, 1921. The Rev. Francis N. Brewer was the pastor at this
time.

On
Sunday May 5, 1974 the One Hundredth Anniversary was celebrated
with a morning worship service at 10 AM with Bishop Eugene M.
Frank as Guest Speaker. Lunch was served and then visiting until
1:30 PM. In the afternoon program, many Former Members were
